Introduction of the workshop (Irmgard Hoeschle-Zeledon)


This workshop provides an opportunity for a broad group of important stakeholders to both learn about the project plans and to share their views on expectations from and opportunities for synergies with the project (days 1 and 2) and for the core project team to finalize the project details (days 3 and 4).


  • Great that so many experts are in the room;
  • We are going to further refine the conceptual basis of this program to align it with your organizational needs;
  • What impact is needed on the ground and what does that mean for the design of the program?
  • The basis of our discussion will be the concept notes for this program. If you didn't take part to it, this is your chance to contribute;
  • We hope this program is an example that can be followed by other programs to increase impact of similar programs.
